Voices.
COPS(O.S.)
That one at the end of the hall.
GORDON (O.S.)
You go in yet?
BRUCE holds his head, spins circles and looks for a way out.
COP (O.S.)
Just got here, only peeked through
the door. Didn't want to disturb
the scene.
BRUCE tries to squeeze out the bathroom window— too small.
INT. CATHOUSE. HALLWAY - DAWN
GORDON:
(pulls down yellow police
tape)
Who called it in?
COP:
A guy named CHI-CHI. Claims he's
the property manager. More like a
PIMP.
GORDON steps on his MARLBORO. Just as he touches the knob —
FLASS pushes past the uniformed officer. GORDON turns —
INT. SELINA'S APARTMENT - DAWN
BRUCE looks out the back window — cops everywhere.
INT. CATHOUSE. HALLWAY - PAWN
GORDON blocks the doorway--
FLASS:
What the hell are you doing here?
GORDON:
It's my collar.
FLASS:
Like hell it is. Get out of my way.
GORDON doesn't move.
FLASS muscles past GORDON and opens the door into—
INT. SELINA'S APARTMENT - DAWN
BRUCE looks out the bedroom window, it's a narrow air-shaft
who's bottom opens in a rubbish-filled mini-courtyard.
BRUCE looks over —
FLASS (O.S.)
Jimmy-boy, I ain't kidding around
now.
GORDON backs into the apartment, he's been shoved.
BRUCE makes a desperate play and throws himself out the
window. He hangs four stories up by his fingers as inside —
GORDON:
OK, have it your way.
GORDON stands aside.
FLASS:
Yeah, that's what I thought--
Then, confronted with the sight of his DEAD PARTNER —
FLASS (CONT'D)
Oh Christ!
Outside the window BRUCE is slipping. He tries to get his
feet on the window sill below while —
GORDON (TO THE COP)
I thought you said there were two
bodies.
COP:
(shrugs)
That's what this CHI-CHI guy said.
And that's what it looked like
BRUCE can't reach the sill with his feet. GORDON squats down
and inspects the body. A series of four — DEEP SCRATCHES —
line CAMPBELL'S cheeks.
BEAT COP:
(to GORDON)
Girl who lives here goes by the
name of Mistress SELINA. 21, 5'9"
120 pounds. Works an S&M dungeon,
uh, obviously. She hasn't turned up
yet.
FLASS casually tosses the apartment, looks out the back
window, opens a wall CLOSET, picks up some handcuffs—
BRUCE can't hold on any more. HE SLIPS AND FALLS.
While FLASS looks at the cuffs,
GORDON:
(TO FLASS)
You don't seem all that broken up.
This IS you partner here, right?
FLASS, angry, throws them back and SLAMS the CLOSET DOOR —
Just at the moment BRUCE CRASHES into the rat-infested
rubbish below.
GORDON hearing something, takes a look out the window where
BRUCE was hanging moments ago.
FLASS:
This kind of sh*t happens everyday.
I've learned to grieve in my own
way, Jimmy-boy.
GORDON:
(pulls head back in)
And what, exactly, does that mean?
FLASS:
It means I'm going to find her and
put her in a box
GORDON:
It's that simple, huh?
FLASS:
Yup.
In the air-shaft, BRUCE climbs out from under the filth and
pushes open a basement window.
GORDON:
Come ON. There's more going on
here. She didn't do this alone.
What was it? CAMPBELL wanted his
graft in trade? That pimp get tired
of paying you guys off?
FLASS:
(to the beat cop)
YOU. Get out.
FLASS (CONT'D)
Listen Boy Scout, you need to
think, long and hard about what you
say and do on the job. You're in
way over your head. Keep it up, and
someone's going to get HURT.
FLASS storms out.
GORDON watches him go.
Cops loaf around the crime scene eating doughnuts. BRUCE
tries to look inconspicuous on the sidewalk, hands in his
pockets, head down. FLASS burst out of the building and slams
into BRUCE. FLASS shoves BRUCE.
FLASS:
Watch where you're going. PUNK.
They hold eye contact for a tense moment.
SELINA'S APARTMENT - MOMENTS LATER
GORDON is alone with the body. He stands soaking up the
details with a troubled look on his face.
INT. GORDON'S APARTMENT, BEDROOM - NIGHT
GORDON sits on the bed with his arm around his wife.
